Motivation is based on the worker's perception of the work situation.
Yes i am fully agreed to this statement.
Equity occurs when an individual's outcome/input ratio equals that of the referent. Because the comparison of these ratios (rather than absolute levels) determines whether equity is perceived, equity can exist if the referent receives more than the person making the comparison. When workers perceive ratios to be equal, they are motivated to maintain the status quo or increase inputs to receive greater outcomes.
Unequal ratios result in tension and a desire to restore equity. Overpayment inequity occurs when an individual perceives his/her outcome/input ratio is greater than the referent's. Underpayment inequity occurs when the individual perceives his/her ratio is less than the referent's. In either case, the individual is motivated to restore equity, according to equity theory.
Unequal ratios create tension inside the worker, and the worker is motivated to restore equity. When the ratios are equal, workers are motivated to maintain their current ratio of outcomes and inputs if they want their outcomes to increase
